Drains to the Mississippi
Banner Pilot

So where did August go?
The leaves are shriveled up and dead.
What started yellow
has turned to grey, I turned you red.
I was suffocating so
I took a breath and let you go.
You left me leaning and I spent the evening
pounding sand with pounding head.


I woke up to the rain and it won't be the same
and it won't be the same here without you.
So goodbye and good luck, know it won't be the same
and it won't be the same and it won't be the same.


Was kinda drunk that night you know,
And now I'm outside kicking stones and getting drunk on grief.
Down and incomplete, walking Carson street alone.
The summer here it grabbed me by
the neck and hung me out to dry.
Dropping into cold, twist my fists in folds
of my winter clothes.

The summer here it grabbed me by

Dropping into cold, twist my fists in folds
of my winter clothes.


Alone, I'm going home
to an empty room, to have on Orchard road.
Absurd fucking world.
Feel like dropping dead, but I laugh instead.
Dumb guy, smart girl.
